After losing one of their top recruits in this class, Budda Baker, the Ducks bounced back with a big commitment today. 5’8″ 170-pound athlete Charles Nelson committed to Oregon, shortly after visiting Oregon this past weekend. He is the 17th overall commit for Oregon.

Nelson is a big pickup for the Ducks and should add some serious speed to the wide receiver core. He’s expected to play a similar role to De’Anthony Thomas. Nelson boasts a 4.39 40-time and picked Oregon over Notre Dame, Florida, USC, Michigan State, Wisconsin, West Virginia and others.
